A pair of Victorian novelty taxidermy candlesticks combines preserved deer hooves with sterling silver and oak wood. The pieces exhibit light brown fur along the legs, dark brown hooves with polished silver tips, and rich medium-brown wooden bases. Each candlestick rests on a horizontally grooved oval base featuring carved radial motifs around the outer edge, supporting an upright hair-covered leg that terminates in a split hoof resting directly on the wood. Above the furred column sits a turned sterling silver mount connecting to a fluted, flared silver candle holder with a ribbed neck and a flat, circular rim. Measuring 36 cm in height, 20 cm in depth, and 15 cm in width, these candlesticks suit display on a mantelpiece or a side table within a study or library. The design brings a distinct Highland hunting lodge aesthetic to interior spaces, serving as functional lighting and decorative display objects.

FAQs

During the 19th century, interest in natural history and field sports led silversmiths and taxidermists to create utilitarian domestic items using preserved animal elements. Hooves, horns, and paws were mounted with sterling silver or silver plate to serve as inkstands, snuff boxes, and candlesticks.

These items typically feature preserved deer or stag hooves combined with sterling silver or silver-plated fittings, such as sconces, capitals, and collars. The assemblies are secured onto weighted or carved hardwood bases, frequently crafted from oak or mahogany.

Authentic period examples feature makers marks or hallmarks stamped on the metal components, historic joinery on the timber bases, and appropriate age-related oxidation. The taxidermy components should show natural wear consistent with organic material of the period.

These decorative objects are suitable for styling on a mantelpiece, sideboard, or within a dark wood bookcase. They function as accent pieces in traditional, eclectic, or gentlemans library interior schemes.

Store the item in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to prevent degradation of the hair and organic tissue. Clean metal elements carefully with a soft cloth while avoiding contact between liquid polishes and the taxidermy surface.
